<h1>Writing multiple choice questions</h1>

<p><b><u>Recommendations for writing good multiple choice questions</u></b></p>

<p>The right choice for each item should be only one (except in the case of multiple choice <i>with several correct answers</i>), and must be accompanied by distractors that are plausible for the individual who does not know the correct answer and disposable clearly knows which. One way to achieve that kind of distracting is to use options that are close to the correct meaning or appearance.</p>

<ul>
<i>
<p>What consist particle beams of alpha radiation?</p>
<ol>- Two protons and two neutrons.</ol>
<ol>- A proton and two electrons.</ol>
<ol>- Two neutrons and one electron.</ol>
</i>
</ul>

<p>Another way is to build on common errors in the study population at the time of writing the distractors, the next item used in assessing English language uses the common error that appears in the second option.</p>

<ul>
<i>
<p>Indicate what the adjective phrase misused few or little:</p>
<ol>- It is only a little house.</ol>
<ol>- I have few interest in economy.</ol>
<ol>- Few people understand That sentence.</ol>
</i>
</ul>
